timescaledb_pre_restore()

Perform the proper operations to allow restoring of the database via pg_restore to commence. Specifically this sets the timescaledb.restoring GUC to on and stops any background workers which may have been performing tasks until the timescaledb_post_restore function is run following the restore. See backup/restore docs for more information.
